I did something similar once (relaying Internet radio stations to the local network in order to save outbound bandwidth with many users in parallel), and ran into trouble because the buffered nature of a fifo/pipe made audio skip every few seconds (tried with both ffmpeg and mplayer initially and also tried using an unbuffered pipe as a means of IPC, but in the end, neither worked and I had to look elsewhere). I settled for a solution involving Icecast as the streaming server, and a stripped down, cli-only custom build of VideoLAN Client (VLC) as its source. VLC comes with an optional Icecast output plugin you can enable at build-time that allows you to recode the incoming data on the fly, and relay it to Icecast in another format (OGG Vorbis or MP3, iirc). I'm pretty sure you should be able to do that with a video input as your source, too. -- with best regards: - Johannes Truschnigg ( johannes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ) www: http://johannes.truschnigg.info/ phone: +43 650 2 133337 xmpp: johannes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Please do not bother me with HTML-eMail or attachments.
